What sucks is when you imply that your project will be unmaintained for 2 years, without any kind of update (not even basic security upgrades). This is a not a project, this is abandonware from day 1.
- rusticpenn 2y agoThere was a time when you wrote a software for a version of the OS and it was done (except security fixes).
- lexicality 2y agoObviously my profession gives me a ton of bias but in general it seems that for most people the squeaky wheel gets the grease and once a project is working it is ignored until it stops working again because there are only so many hours in the day and management has an infinite list of demands... And then it breaks 2 years later and I'm called in because the person who wrote it left and no one else knows how it works because they didn't write any documentation etc etc etc
- theshrike79 2y agoIt's not like that simple 50 line Python script taking stuff from API A and stuffing them to API B is a full ass project with a JIRA project ID and a Product Manager. It works, people forget it exists. Then something breaks and I need to start fixing it. And the amount of work it takes to just update the packages is more than it'd take me to rewrite the whole thing in a language with a sane distribution mechanism (Go).
